There are a lot of blanks that that character can fill in for anybody who’s a fan of this show, anybody who’s a fan of the Mills family story. We’ve cast James McDaniel who’s a phenomenal actor, and James and I have had great conversations about this character. What else can you preview about Papa Mills’ introduction and his relationship with his daughters? In a very unique set of circumstances, the drastic thing Jenny Mills does is something unexpectedly emotional… It’ll play into this season’s intention to have Papa Mills show up and what that might mean to complete the story for these guys.
Without having somebody in her life, she might make more risky decisions. That’s her natural instinct and her comfort zone: action. What lengths will Jenny go to in order to come to terms with this, or perhaps to try and bring Abbie back? It isn’t just two really good-looking people that you enjoy seeing together, it’s profound in its shading they just feel so good together and it really helps her in the back half with this devastating loss. We knew in the writers’ room what we had with those two and we leaned in because we felt it super early on. Joe has been a remarkably successful character to pull into the series, and that relationship is so natural. It’s an utterly and completely shocking sacrifice that she sees her sister make, it’s confounding emotionally, it’s devastating personally, and but for the fact that she has someone this season who’s there and can support her, she could’ve very easily gone off the deep end. She would have dealt with it poorly in the way only Jenny can if she didn’t have a moderating influence in Joe and what they’ve just started to find in each other towards the end of the first half of the season. How will Jenny deal with the knowledge that Abbie sacrificed herself to keep her safe? That’s a heavy burden to bear. I think, like all of us, they should enjoy the episode for what it’s worth and embrace the sacrifice that Abbie Mills makes, not only for her sister but for Crane and this world that they’re inhabiting, and just be utterly and completely surprised at how everybody reacts to this gigantic sacrifice that she makes. I don’t want to tell the audience how they should be looking at it. Death is rarely permanent in “Sleepy Hollow,” so should fans be looking at Abbie’s return as a question of when and how, not if?
